Synopsis

Then the strangest thing happened - the singing

was all around them and in them.

Out came mountains and valleys and rivers with fish!

It just happened so spontaneously -

this was God singing creation into being

and they were there singing with Him,

creating too!

It felt like the most natural place to be;

it felt like this is where we all came from!

The singing continued

and in it

one could hear the

voice of God speaking:

"Light be!"

and Light was.

"Land and sea and oceans be!"

and they were -

all unfolding in the most spectacular way you could

have ever dreamed. It is beyond words; it is

God's magic!

The wonder was their voices never tired; they sang

and sang and sang.

We don't know how long this

was going on.

It felt like millions of years flashing

past them in a few hours.

Then there was silence.

It was not a scary one;

no, not one of those,

but a silence of holding one's

breath for something magnificent is about to

happen.............

À propos des auteurs

Lydia and her husband, Francois du Toit live in South Africa. "I think my imagination for story telling started in my early childhood. We lived like gypsies in a caravan and traveled criss cross our beautiful country wherever my Pappa's work would take him. Long before any TV, and often so remote, that even the radio didn't work, we invented stories and imagined places, yet to be discovered. At night around the campfires, or in bed, we were entertained with my Mamma's amazing stories, taking us with her to Neverland. CS Lewis, as well as Elizabeth Goudge were some of my favorite authors. Raising our 4 children, I remember Francois often listening in and urging me to write these unfolding stories down one day! There is wonderful, hidden world, waiting to be explored in every child's mind. I trust that Flunderlina will unlock a most beautiful, safe place for all who read it." www.mirrorword.net

I view myself as an artist, using a variety of mediums in which to express myself.My training was focused in clay (3 Years in Art School and later a BTechCeramics degree in 2003) however painting, stitching and sculpting are also mytools for expression. Many of my ideas are a direct result of interacting with thenatural world around me - particularly plants and rocks. Primarily, I make mywork to pursue a connection with other people - beyond my circle, my culture, my spoken language. If my work is able to bridge a connection between us, and you have remembered how beautiful life can be, then my job is well done!
